My family and I were on a short 2 day T Day vacation on the east coast of Florida. I was giving my 40 pound sack of potatoes 7 year old a full speed, running piggyback ride to the car from the canoe dock, when my Grand discovered the fresh hole in the pocket of my shorts :facepalm:...

Door and battery went flying, Rm2 remained intact. Bottle and feed tube stayed attached to the unit. Only minor damage that happened was a few 'scuffs' to a couple of corners and one edge as witnessed in the picture below (y'all gotta look closely for the red circles, sorry for the crappy pic). Battery read 3.9 v when I checked it with a meter and the coil was still intact at 1.2 ohms. Takin' it on the corner like that saved the Rm2.
Still vaping like a champ and looking great!

Rob, you build a device that can take some abuse! Kudos to you sir! Now, can I send my shorts in and get that hole fixed? :D

I'm not much on box mods but something about it makes me want to try it. Talk me into one. My wife will freak out...But talk me into one.

Incredibly durable - always reliable. All day juice supply on board and all day battery life. Fill it in the morning, pop in a fresh batt. Vape all day and then some without ever having to think about it at all. My oldest just turned 3. It has never once failed to create vapor when I pushed the button - not once. It has never done anything I didn't expect it to - not once. It has been 100% durable and 100% reliable. It has never failed me in any way at all. It is the perfect device for anyone hoping to reduce the hassle that is ever present in the details of vaping anything other than a REO.

The big point, compared to a box is a box is a box - dna or otherwise - is the feed system. Makes all the difference is the world for convenience combined with the dripping experience. And the whole drop it, throw it, run it over with a car thing - can't name a lot of boxes, and certainly not round tooby mods, that can handle that. Exceptional reliability and durability.

Still looks great!

Simple functional design that can take a beating. Easily fixed with reasonably priced rebuild kit. The better flavor of dripping without the hassle, the longevity of a tank without the reduced flavor or other issues. 99% of those who try one love it, majority buy more than one. Holds a high resale value and sells quickly.

Incredible customer from service from the inventor and maker who is always around and this great sub forum full of wonderful people. We're glad you stopped by Reoville to ask your question.

Post after post from new users that says" Why did I wait so long?"

Good thing you were on dry land when the Reo decided to slip out otherwise you'd have been snorkeling for it.:)

I dropped my Reo on a run (well, maybe a waddle) to catch a bus. The door almost came off and the cap to my bored out RM3 went flying. Collected the parts and luckily, the bus driver felt bad seeing an old man run, waited for me.

I re-wicked while travelling since dirt got into the coil.. The Reo clouded up at my next stop. Now, I only drip (up) with my pair of Reos. My other mods get a visit only while I am in a recliner knowing they would not have survived such a day.

I'm looking for damage, and barely see it. Looks like it just fell over. :D

Just get a LP Reo Grand, and a LP RM2 atomizer. You'll be set for life. Nothing else on the market, or that's gonna be made just can't / won't match the beauty and engineering of a Reo Grand. And IF for some reason you happen to not like it, just list it in the Classifieds. Say you have it for 4 months and take really good care of it... you'll get back about 75% (possibly more) of the money you spent on it.

Pretty much what everyone else has said above wshanncap.

I have to add that if it had been my cheap (don't read it as inexpensive, read as cheap) IPV2, there would have been nothing left to vape with.

Reo's are tough, give an outstanding vape. Battery life is awesome, they are stealthy, great to look at. And you become part of an exceptional community.

They come in Wood too!

Just sent the wife an email with links the Woodville I want and the brass RBA. I wait with baited breath.

The wood REO's you see now on reosmods were from the last sale. They are in the hands of happy Reonauts!

Robert will be doing a run of 18650 Mechanical Woodvils due early part of 2015.

The wood REO's are only available when he does a run, a big batch of 200-300 at one time. They go on sale at a specific date and time. It is a feeding frenzy and most sell quickly. But some are usually available for the next 24 hours.

You can sometimes find one in the classy's. Most people get their very first wood REO as used.

Hopefully you can find a Woody in the classies. Your gonna wait until the next run otherwise (Februaryish)...
There have been a couple posted lately. You have to be very quick on them though!
